Jojo Moyes: Author on her new book 'We All Live Here'
Author Jojo Moyes had written seven novels before her 2012 novel Me Before You changed her life.

Since then, she's sold over 57 million books and has hit number one in 12 different countries. She's recently released her 17th book - We All Live Here. "I did not grow up in a traditional family. Well, I did for a bit, but my family now has kind of grown and blended...and I just wanted to reflect those different shapes." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whitcoulls Recommends: Dream State and Unveiled
Dream State by Eric Puchner. This book starts with the lead up to a wedding, after which the bride makes a momentous decision which then ripples through the lives of her husband, his best friend and the future generations. It’s a story about the consequences of the decisions we make, and the subsequent joy, regret and pain which can linger for a lifetime and which help turn us into the people we become, for better or for worse. This is wonderful storytelling. Unveiled by Theophila Pratt. The author was born into the Gloriavale community, with the given name Honey Faithful. She was one of nine siblings and knew from the age of 14 that she wanted more from life – which eventually included being able to change her name. At the age of 18 she refused to sign the Gloriavale Declaration of Commitment and was subsequently evicted. Life in that community has been well documented in other places, but Theophila’s story is a timely (and fascinating) reminder of the cult that still exists on the West Coast, and which now has an outpost in India of which her sister was a founding member. This is also the story of a courageous young woman finding her own voice. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
